I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK A THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. TWO OF THEM INFORMED ME THAT THESE CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THE CAN DO. WALLACE LUNDGREN AT LEAST KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND APPARENTLY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE SYMPTOMS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURING INTERMITTANTLY AND ME BEING AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN KNOW HOW HARD INTERMITANT PROBLEMS ARE BUT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY I BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT INTERMITANTLY HAS NO BRAKES SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT LUNDGREN CHEVROLET GAVE ME A 2000 SUBURBAN AS ALONER AND GUESS WHAT NO BRAKES INTERMITTANTLY. ALSO MY SERVICE MANAGER FRED SCHARNBERG HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HIS NEW 2000 SUBURBAN.
